November 8th is D.E.A.R. Day. Drop Everything and Read? NO! Drop Everything and Radiation! Drop Everything and Rain Forest! Drop Everything and Refraction! Drop Everything and Reptile!

Ok, ok. It’s actually National STEAM/STEM Day, a perfect day to dive into activities that communicate to all students that they can be innovators, inventors, and even NASA scientists in the here and now, not to mention in their futures. This school newsletter template has a host of engaging activities for all ages, from experiments to citizen science. Nothing requires complicated equipment or training.

Peruse away, and take a minute to enjoy a satirical song from the 60s about getting kids to understand the concepts behind algorithms and the confusion that causes their parents 😜.

Happy innovating on Nov8!
